I am an occasional contributor rather than a regular poster, but tbh the in jokes and chat between those who are regulars kinda puts me off posting, because I'm clearly not one of the 'in crowd'.
I haven't contributed to this discussion about codes partly for that very reason, and partly because i don't really understand what all the fuss is about. If a video repeats, then surely you see that yourself and play it repeatedly anyway?
there is no "in crowd"
purely people who post often who get to know each other same as everywhere. most threads on here have banter and chat, the forum would be staid and dead without it. the jokes and chat are part of the fun on here and if you want to join in then become involved. i don't see why you would have a prob tbh. most threads on here are the same and this is a friendly thread.Originally Posted by easylife73:

Yeah. I can understand people being a bit annoyed going through ten pages of chat if they're not apart of it (we get carried away in the early hours...), but nothing is stopping them joining in if they want - and Swagbucks is really, really slow at the moment, there are few offers or surveys... If we only posted when offers or surveys credited this thread would be dead very quickly.0 -

pumpkin, there wasn't any official pm system in place on the thread - I think miwa means that if someone didn't know where to find a code, they would pm someone else for help. As for the banter, please don't let that put you off. That's what made this thread so special - people could have a laugh and a joke but at the same time still help others and share success stories and failures just as they do, to a slightly lesser extent, on the Swagbucks UK Facebook page. Because there have been so many complaints and frustrations about things not crediting, lack of surveys etc, I think people were trying to make the thread more light-hearted and a fun place to be. As I've said, please don't let this put you off posting or contributing to the thread - I've found that nearly everyone here is so friendly and helpful and I know that I wouldn't have earned half as many vouchers if I'd not been part of this threadSwagbucks joined 5th July 2012 - Earned 2012: Amazon - £300 - 2013: Amazon - £610

Yes that is what I meant. Sometimes I would get PMs off people or send PMs if I or someone else couldn't find or access a Swagbucks code so I/they didn't miss out. Luckily Swagbucks have changed that by letting us post codes publicly.
And I agree with everything else... Such a shame that first the site itself is going stale and now it looks like this thread is going the same way.0 -

yep.
other option is to start a thread like the trolley supermarket one. they seem to cope and nobody is rude, was amazed how friendly they are. they also all pull together and contribute. a new thread for banter and that thing called humour.Originally Posted by easylife73:

Just a heads up: I've just done a lot of Fisher tasks on another site, but they are normally on SB as well.0

Thanks. I find I am doing less and less tasks on SB and doing them on CS instead now.
Still haven't had my SBs for joining Audible through PL. Shame as I sent in a screenshot and they don't seem to want to know. Moaned to Swagbucks about it on Facebook but shock horror they're only sorting out the people who did the other after that via their mailing system. So once again the newer sign ups get sorted and the older ones ignored.
Seems to be taking forever to get anything on SB these days.
